It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him
I don’t wanna be mean to the guy who effectively just lost his job but like, come on bro. Reddit wasn’t exactly hiding their negative intentions, outright lies, and lack of respect.
He said it’s his only source of income, so he’s probably been busy trying to gain as much time as he could from Reddit while simultaneously trying to work out his finances and such. And if Reddit was still talking to him, it’s like dangling a carrot. The dev had some hope before the rug was swept out from under him.
It still works fine if you moderate a subreddit. If you make yourself a private subreddit and mark it NSFW, you can both use the app and the API will let you see NSFW content.
Have you actually tried this? I used to moderate a sub of about 700 people. I don’t have access now. Perhaps it’s only if you moderate bigger subs?
Of course I’ve tried it, that’s how I know it works. I was just using it 5 minutes ago. I don’t think it’s going to matter if you used to moderate a subreddit, you need to currently moderate a subreddit. I literally moderate an empty sub I made in like the last two days, who I’m the only subscriber to.
Fuck u/spez
mlmym.org acts like oldreddit, someone linked it further down in the comments, and it’s changed my world.
https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym or those that want to self-host
Dude this is kinda life changing. So is this a separate lemmy instance? Or what exactly is this?
Wow, that’s incredible. I’ve been using a tampermonkey script to sort of emulate the feel of old.reddit, but this is essentially one-to-one. Thanks.
I’ve got a Stylish plugin to expand the width of the site. I just wish they would agree on how to fix the problem.
And then I deleted my Reddit account.
Is reddit going to charge the owner of Sync since it tallies API calls? I dont want to screw anyone over for Reddit…
Based on what? User agent? This wouldn’t be a reliable base to know who to charge. It’s all about the given API token. If it’s your own personal one (which it probably would be aber revancing the app), it is restricted anyways to x calls per month (day? IDK). If you reach that limit you simply won’t be able to fetch more data.
Buuuuuut: You would still be using reddit, which we all hopefully agreed not to do anymore, right?
RIGHT?
which we all hopefully agreed not to do anymore, right?
And that’s the hiveminded thinking which made Reddit suck.
